    Super Split Table

    I bought my first brand new super split a few weeks ago with a factory table. All the super splits I've had in the past have been brought back from the dead and had home made tables. The factory table is kind of small but when I picked it up paul showed me a prototype table that is wider and...

    Predator motor on log splitter.

    I'm going to start building another splitter. I'm going with a 28gpm pump and was wondering if anyone has run one with a 13hp predator motor? I know the recomended hp for a 28gpm pump is 14hp but I could buy a few 13hp predator motors for the price of a 14hp Honda. I already have a super split...

    Looking for a saw for my teenage Son

    I would find him a decent used 50cc pro saw that needs a little work. Im 16 and started running a husky 42 at 12 with dads supervision then at 13 my grandpa gave me a stihl 026 he had sitting in his barn. I went through it and got it running and did general matnience on it myself. I had no proem...

    Slow Firewood Year...?

    It's been slow, way below normal. I've sold a few bundles here and there but not as much as usual. I did sell two cords of green wood this weekend to a regular customer that buys 2 cord every summer. The woodpile is drying fast though. I picked up a conveyor from work the other day so hopefully...

    Splitter Kept Indoors- outdoors- outdoors and covered?

    I have a super split that doesnt have a hitch. If would take a few strong guys to throw it in a truck. Its also in my backyard and I own 3 dogs and 2 guenie hens. I know when someone is in my yard. If they thing my splitter looks like theirs they better like the taste of 00 buck from my 12gauge. lol

    Where to det bars for older saws?

    I am looking for a longer bar for a Jonsered 801. It has a 24" bar on now. I can only find up to a 24" bar for it online. Ive tried different husky and stihl bars that I had and none of them fit. Where do you guys get bars for old saws? Im looking for a 32" or 36" bar for it. Ive though of...

    Questions about a 272XP

    It is the stock 50mm bore. We took the carb apart and cleaned it and tried leaning it out. Im going to get a carb kit for it this weekend because Im driving by the local husky dealer anyhow.

    Stihl 460 Pricing

    Bought two 460s with 25" bars in November I paid $850 each including taxes. They were on the shelf for $880 plus taxes. I go to the dealer a few towns over because he stocks way more pro saws and has better prices. The dealer in my town gave my dad a price of $989 for a 460 with a 20" bar. They...

    Questions about a 272XP

    My dad has a 272xp that he rebuilt with an aftermarket p&c last fall. Even before he rebuilt it it never had the power it had when he first had it. It didnt get better after he rebuilt it. The other day I checked it with the tachometer and we couldnt get it above 10,500 rpm WOT. It seems to run...

    Changing pitch from .325 to 3/8 on my 026

    Me and my dad have 2 026s. We switched both from .325 to 3/8. We didnt notice any power loss. The main reason for the switch was because we buy our chain in 100' roles and we dont buy .325. I had one before the other and it was muffler modded and had 3/8 chain and it had more power than the...

    what's the deal with super split

    I have a super split and a hydro splitter with a 4 way wedge. The super split out produces it. We only split tree service wood, everything from 4" to over 5 feet. The wood I cant lift gets quartered with the bobcat splitter no matter if I use the super split or hydro splitter. The super split is...

    Super split issues

    I bought an older used super split split a month ago. I finaly ordered a new subaru motor to replace the anceint briggs that was on it. Got it working today. The only problem is that it wont stay engaged. I need to hold the engagement knob up for the ram to continue to move forward. By the looks...

    Skid Steer Log Splitters

    We have two at my farm. They are both upside down ones. They work great. They are both home made. Make sure whatever you get its heavy duty. We run them on a bobcat t300 and have ripped off wedges and twisted I beams a few times.

    Best Wood Splitter...?

    Another vote for custom built. You can get some pretty good cycle times with a 28gmp pump and either a 4.5" or 5" cylinder. 6 way wedges will really throw out some wood. $ way wedges like built rites are nice that are hydo lift and drop below the beam. Log lift is needed if your doing wood...

    Cell phone for the field

    Another vote for the casio camando. I have one and put it threw everything. I dont even have a case on it just a screen protector. Rain snow dirt dust and just about anything else you throw at it wont stop it. Dropped it more times than I can count too. Ive taken pictures under water with it. My...
